    Disagree. Let's just get 4 points and move on.

    Surely Lever will miss, he looked very sore. Apart from that, I think we pick almost the best team we can. Percentage will be important.

    Lever out 

    Tomlinson in

    Lever is buggered. He was on the bench popping pain killers like candy. Never a better time to rest him.

    If Lever can play, even if he's a bit sore, he should. We need him to get back in the groove and get some continuity, he's had a real in/out season so far.

    It was a corky that was the most concern today though right?

    I did notice that the boot was off the right foot at half time though... I'm assuming that was the one that he had the plantar fasciitis issue?

    I don't want to be cocky. Respect the opposition and all that. But let's be frank, we should take a mini-bye over the next two weeks. Lever looks like he can barely walk. Lingers copped an absolute beating. The Cats always managed their best players through a season. Plus, we could blood some new players and get them used to our system at top level. Be honest with them and let them know they're just getting a taste and to keep pushing. Clarry has played 120 consecutive games and Trac about 90. Max and Langdon have missed maybe one game in the last few seasons. Also, watching footy is getting pretty boring. Some new players would be fun. 

    Ins: Rosman, van Rooyen ,Laurie. 

    Outs: whoever could do with a rest. 

    Eagles and Norf over the next two weeks

    Potential to be danger games - beware their desperation

    Rest Lever, mindful of covid protocols

    8 points and move right on....

    Nah last contest of the game he was again heavily limping after jumping up to defend and landing on his feet. He is definitely suffering. 
    I sit right by the bench and he was in serious pain. He was limping so badly. I worry that if we keep pushing him he will break. 
    But I’m not a doctor and happy to be corrected.

    Also, does anyone know if it's Van Rooyen or van Rooyen? And what to use starting a sentence. I don't know the custom for Zimbabwe. @WalkingCivilWar?

    We rest players for a very easy interstate plane trip when they have a bleed the quad

    Lever and Jordan might need a rest, not sure what Jordon did but he was on one leg for most of the last quarter, he rolled in a contest and took a little to get back up.

    If anybody suggests dropping JJ I’ll box their ears.

    He might need it, he rolled in a contest at the start of the last quarter and was on one leg for the rest of the game. They did keep him out there though, so I'm not sure how bad of an injury it is?

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
